Cataracts

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens in the eye that can cause blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. Cataracts are a natural part of aging and tend to develop slowly over time. You may not even realize you have a cataract at first because the vision changes can be subtle. However, as the cataract grows larger over time, it can start to affect your daily life and make it challenging to read, write, drive, or do other tasks that require good vision. At Bella Vista Family Eye Care in Rockford, MI, Dr. Jackson can assess the severity of your cataracts during your comprehensive eye exam and offer ways to manage your symptoms until surgery is necessary   

Cataract treatment in Rockford, MI  

The only way to remove a cataract is surgery, but you may not need surgery right away. In the early stages, updating your prescription for glasses or contact lenses may help improve your vision temporarily. However, if your cataracts are significantly impacting your vision and quality of life, surgery may be necessary.  

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. Our team at Bella Vista Family Eye Care will work closely with a trusted ophthalmologist to ensure that you receive the best possible care before, during, and after surgery. We will refer you to a skilled surgeon who specializes in cataract removal and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
